This is a good start to this series and i feel like it can only get better from here. I love a strong FMC and I also love the representation (queer and poc) as well as the fact that she’s not super young. I enjoy the complexity of her character and also Riven’s. Some parts of the book were slow and boring but the parts that weren’t were very good so i’ll let it slide. Also holy tropes, so so so many shoved into one book. I can’t wait for more so I’m starting the next book right away!
